hens and chicks flower seeds Hens and ChicksWe were surprised at how easily this succulent alpine perennial germinated and grew quickly into recognizable baby rosettes. Commonly known as houseleeks, they were once grown on roofs, and in historical folklore, it was believed they brought wealth and prosperity, protection from fire; especially from the Norse Thunder god, Thor who was said to throw thunderbolts down upon dwellings.

We were surprised at how easily this succulent alpine perennial germinated and grew quickly into recognizable baby rosettes. Commonly known as houseleeks, they were once grown on roofs, and in historical folklore, it was believed they brought wealth and prosperity, protection from fire; especially from the Norse Thunder god, Thor who was said to throw thunderbolts down upon dwellings. In today's gardens, they can be tucked right into rocky and dry areas, requiring very little soil, or grown in pots.

Classy, good quality & great price. Zero regrets!
Style: 2mm - 2.8g, Style: 2mm - 2.8g
These earrings came well-packaged and were beautiful out of the box. They have been my go-to pair on the daily since they arrived. I like that they’re sturdy, but not heavy, and aren’t fragile. I have no dings scratches, or anything like that on them. I was also really worried about the snap-to-close vs. an endless hoop, but it hasn’t been an issue. They are classic & look great with everything. Absolutely recommend!

The Hoop needs tight grip
Style: 2mm - 2.8g, Style: 2mm - 2.8g
The hoop earring is nice but the hoop is too short and falling off easily. Need to be worn with care in order not to drop off unknowingly.
